Day 15 - In and Around Saint Johns

Day 15 – Time to see what we can see in Saint Johns.

Our first visit is to the Reversing Falls. A great site to see and experience. You can learn more about the “Reversing Falls” by going to: http://www.new-brunswick.net/Saint_John/reversingfalls/reversing.html











Anyhow, we got there when the tide was going out. Took some pictures, saw a movie about it, took some more pictures, visited the gift shop, and took some more pictures.









Since we had some time before dead low tide, it was decided that we should go down town Saint Johns and see some sites. One of the places we went was to the Central Market. This place was designed like an upside-down ship. Fruits and vegatables on both ends and crafts in the middle section.













Of course, we had to do some shopping. We did find one real crafter. Made his stuff from red clay that is found in the area. Quite unique crafts. Funny character.








After our trip around Saint Johns, we wound our way back to the Reversing Falls. We arrived at slack tide (dead low tide). Water was NOT moving either direction. We noticed, for the first time, a rock sticking out of the water near the far side.











We decided to eat at the restrurant just beside the falls. A great dinner and also gave some time for the tide to turn. After a delightful dinner, the tide had indeed turned and was rushing up the river. Yes, it had reversed the flow of the river. We were told that this reversing ran all the way to an upstream dam. DAMN



Found our way back to the campground and prepared for an early start.
